NO ACTION ON THE ELEVATED.

The Committee on Streets Refers
the Ordinance to Sub-COm-
mittee for Further Inyestiga-
ton.
All the regular meeting of the commit
tee on streets of the city council in the
council chamber last evening the mat
ter of the charges against Building In
SpectOr Johnson over his notices in re-
gard to the enforcement of the Ordi
nance providing for the putting up of
fire escapes on buildings used for man
ufacturing purposes, came up. Mr..
Johnson read all the notices sent out by
him as well as the ordinance. When
he finished the reading of these notices
Aid. Cullen made motion fully
generating the building inSpec-
tor in every particular. This
motion was carried by a unanimous
vote. A petition from the Minnesota &
Northwestern railway was then read,
asking for the privilege of erecting a
signal station on Fillmore avenue and
the committee decided to report in favor
of the request being granted.
The ordinances proposed by the Ma
tiOnal Subway company and the Ameri-
can District Telegraph company were
then read, and also letter from FL. p.
Hall withdrawing the offer of the latter.
A warm discussion then ensued
over the matter. MI. Dorset of
the National Subway company
explained the plan of his company. as
did also City Engineer Rundlett, but to
little avail; for the committee, by vote
of 4 to 3, decided to report adversely on
the matter.
THE ELEVATED ROAD.
The elevated railway matter then
came before the committee, Attorney
Stevens, of the company, presenting a
draft of an ordinance. This was read,
after which Mr.. c. W. Hackett showed
charts and diagrams representing the
way the road would be constructed.
He said: When the subject of an ele-
waited road is mentioned. the New York
plan recurs TO the mind of every one.
That plan is very Objectionable, and the
one we propose is a great improvement
upon it. Our plan is to have iron pill
lars every fifty feet on but one side of
the street, thus presenting hardly any
obstruction in the way of light. We
prefer not to outline our route be-
cause of the objections sure to be
raised by few along the proposed line"
William Lindeke then spoke briefly in
regard to the matter. We are in no
hurry" said he. 1--WE believe it will be
a good thing for ST. Paul and for Min
neapOlis, and all good things will keep.
There is no scheme in it. We intend to
go ahead and build the ROAD if we get a
franchise that will enable us to do it. If
you think there's any scheming in it
don't grant the franchise"
On motion of Aid. Sanborn, the matter
was referred to q committee composed
of Chairman Hamm, City Engineer
Rundlett and another member to be ap-
pointed by the chairman. The opposi-
ton was mainly because of the clause
allowing the company the privilege of
selecting its own route The majority
of the committee seemed TO be of the
opinion that it ought to be outlined i'll
the ordinance.
A resolution of the chamber of COM
merce in regard to the matter of placing
the names of streets at their inteISec-
lions was read and referred to the city
engineer and the chairman of the COM
mittee on streets.

More Cases of Suffering Found
by MIR. HutchinS and the
Globe Man.
Several Cases That Have Been
Given Aid Through the
Globes Work.
A Family Living in a Miser.
able Little Barn Up onu
Dayton's Bluff.
Poor Families Living in Swede
HolloW--A Somewhat I'M
usual Case. =.

The GLOBES constant investigations
amongst the poor have accomplished
great good in many ways. Not only
have the eyes of the people been opened
to the distressing facts as they actually
exist; but public sentiment has been
stirred up to high pitch and deep in
terest aroused that has heretofore been
prominent by its absence. Letters are
pouring into the society's rooms, worded
in substance as follows:
Il have been reading the articles on
the poor that have appeared in the
GLOBE and am aStOniShed that such
misery exists. l have some wearing APP
parel and bedclothes that the society is
welcome to, if its agent will call at my
house."
Besides these evidences of the inter-
est taken in the work, many people have
called and deposited large bundles at
the offices, al East Ninth street. Mr..
Hall, Mr.. Hutchins, and all the members
of the society, to say nothing of the UNI
fortunates. are oyerjOyed at the result
and hope that it will continue.
Just few minutes before the GLOBE
reporter and Mr.. Hutchins started on
their daily trip, lady called at the soci-
ety's office and inquired:
How can find the poor Swede FAM
lily named Benson, described in yeSter
days GLOBE"
The direc ton was furnished her, and
now the Swede has comfortable posi-
ton, doing chores, in one of the incest
families in st. Paul. This same lady
also inquired the name of the woman
whose husband had been transferred to
Helena, Mont, and had not been heard
from. The name was given and it turned
out that this benevolent lady and the
one in want were formerly neighborS
and fast friends. She lost no time in
irving to the residence of her unfOr-
tunate friend. Thus two cases ale hap
PLY relieved for time at least.
AN UNUSUAL CASE.
Occasionally Mr.. Hall finds an unuS-
ual kind of case like the following:
Some time ago stranger, who had
arrived in st. Paul penniless from
Idaho, applied to the society for aid.
Though the case looked rather suspi-
cious, he was aided. Yesterday he
called at the Office. He was nicely and
warmly clothed, and from capaciOuS
purse paid in every cent advanced to
him by Mr.. Hall: also, an amount equal
to the value of the clothing given HIM.
While speeding along on Broadway
street, near East Ninth, Mr.. Hutchins
suddenly pointed out to the reporter
strong, healthy man walking along with
a tin bucket in his hand, at which he
occasionally glanced with tenderness.
That is Johnson, whose family has
been in such destitute circumstances

my action above was the result"
ROTUNDA GOSSIP.
Sayings of Numerous Well Known
Men Yesterday.


81 have been selected as member of
the committee to urge the claims of Min
neapolis to the national Republican con
vention,' said Col. W. w. Dudley, who
returned to st. Paul yesterday, ''and /
was successful in obtaining one vote
upon my initiation. The fight will
be between Chicago, Philadelphia and
Minneapolis, and, in my judgment, the
latter city should be chosen. New York
does not want the convention, but will
be satisfied with the honor of choosing
the most acceptable candidate, SO that
no opposition need be feared from that
quarter. Each state and territory has a
representative on the national commit
tee, and while there was some oppoSi-
ton to allowing this privilege to the
territories, it was no more than right
that they should have voice in such
matter.
81 am thankful to say that l have
ended my business SO far as the cable
company at st. Paul is concerned, and
shall devote some of my spare time to
repairing losses encountered in connec-
ton with tn at work"
''All danger of the weather interfering
with the cement work is at an end. and
the cable can now be safely entrusted
to its bed in the streets. 1 don't see
why it was not begun to-day, but the
gentlemen in charge evidently want to
make a sure thing of it this time.'

Il am out of politics now," said ex-
Gov. Ramsey as he sat in the parl0r of
the Ryan yesterday; "still | would like
to see the national convention held at
Minneapolis: principally for the pres
tige that it would give this section of
the United States, and [ am heartily in
favor of anything that will help
the Northwest. 1t is not likely
that / will take an active part in the
canvass that is being made with that
object in view, but anything that can
do to help the cause will be cheerfully
rendered. Holding convention at Min
neapOlis would bring people to st. Paul

derful section in which we of Minnesota
and the Northwest have our dwelling

st. Paul, for its size, has more ''fine
sleighs' than any city in the United
States. Long years ago the ''old-fash-
toned blackboard" used in the summer
and the equally ''old-faShioned bob-sled"
used in the winter was discarded for
the elegant" and fashionable Russian
Sleigh" In this respect st. Paul stands
second to none, and the most surprising
fact of all is that full nine-tenths of
these elegant sleighs'' were supplied
by the old established firm of E. NJ. Halo

West st. Paul line. Mr.. Lawton brought
up the subject of electric masts, stating
that movement in that direction had
been started a few years ago, but had
fallen through, owing to the high price
demanded by the gas company fer
furnishing mast. A motion made by Mr..
LawtOn that committee of three be
appointed to solicit subscriptions for

passed. The chair appointed Messrs.

he said. At the reporters request Mr..
Hutchins drove into an alley near
the corner. There was no number over
the door, and Mr.. Hutchins put one
there, ''505," i'm blue chalk, so that it
can be readily found by the wood and
grocery man. Up rickety, dark pair
of stairs the two CROPPED their way, and
turned to Their left into a small, dirty
room. The eye saw nothing but filth,
and two small children, the older one
not more than year old, were playing
in filth about the cold stove. Looking
into the pantry (?) the reporter found
their food. one apple and few crack
ers, together with dirty table ware
placed alongside an earthen slop vessel,
while about the floor were heaped the
SOiled clothes. The pantry emitted a
much worse Odor than the other two
rooms combined. The poor mother was
Scrubbing some saloon floor away down
Ninth street. and Johnson, a lazy,
strong, healthy man. was taking. care (?)
of the children, sitting home and spend
ing his wife'S hard-earned money for
beer, as an investigation of his tin
bucket disclosed. He could have had
plenty of work if he wanted it, but pre-
ferred to let his wife keep the family.
He tried to lie about the beer, until the
lid of the can was fOrcibly removed.
The poor woman has terrible time of
it, and is too sick to work. She is de-
serving of charity. The board of con-
troll kindly sent the woman cord of
wood, but the old man gets the benefit
of it.

able to raise anything, they lost their
all, and removed again to

pressed in spirits, drank heavily

his family and has not since been heard
